A review from our research group is out for publication in DNA Repair as part of the special issue “Cutting-Edge Perspectives in Genome Maintenance”. This review presents our current knowledge on the contribution of pre-existing and DNA damage-induced chromatin marks to the maintenance of genome stability by focusing on physio-pathological alterations of histone proteins (variants, post-translational modifications, oncomutations).
